Hi everyone, I feel like I know so many of you guys already from lurking here forever. I have such grand plans now spinning in my head that I cant begin.
I have two basic systems: the den system was at first an homage to 70s Pioneer, analog and headphones(sx receivers and different cs style speakers and Pioneer tts make their rounds, currently its an sx-850 with Wharfedales (trp w70ds)and a pioneer pl-560. Then there is the HT system in tv room with a big Kenwood hook to HK 50 dvd and Boston Acoustic speaker for the surround sound.
I want to build a DAC!!?? I have colected up about ten TDA1541, and read every thread but I just dont know where to start. I need a starting point that doesnt include 500 pages of dual dac paralled output buffering or what ever else I dont understand.
Pictures and ABC for the beginner stuff, thats what I need. Soldering gun is ready, fire extinguisher is charged and the kids are in bed.

Welcome to the forum. Hope you can stop spinning!
It looks like you have a start, the TDA1541, you must have chosen it for a reason, right? Do you understand the basic building blocks of a DAC? That the DAC chip itself is in the center of the signal flow?
If you can't find a project that you like, start a new thread. Describe your goals and your skill level. You'll get moe help than you ever wanted. 😀

Hi royf - as long as you can closely regulate the rotational speed of your head to 33 1/3 RPM a large part of the problem is solved!!!! 😀😀😀
Ho-K - enough fun. Start at the beginning - build your power supply 1st and then test it. Keep us posted with where you are at and bring some doggie treats. A lot of the guys here respond well to bribes before they will sit up and bark!!!
N' if moe can't help you we have Curly and Larry fooling around in da wings...
